British Motoring Festival FAQs

Six weeks to go and counting.  Get that registration in before you forget!
We thought we'd compose this newsletter in the form of a "Frequently Asked Questions" sheet, i.e. a FAQ.

FAQ-1: Is there breakfast available for Dorm registrants on Saturday?
Sadly, no.  Yours truly makes a quick run down to the MacDonald's/Timmies on Wentworth Road on Saturday morning.
FAQ-2: Is there security on the site to make sure my car is not vandalised or stolen?
Yes indeed.  A security guard from Commissionaires Canada patrols the grounds from 7 PM to 7 AM on Friday night and Saturday night. The RCMP will have a constable who is our liaison and they are 5 minutes away.  The fire department is also notified of the festival.
FAQ-3: Is the Festival insured?
Yes we are for, liability affecting the general public and for any damages which might reasonably be assigned to our fault. King's-Edgehill is held harmless.  But nothing has ever happened! Insurance for your own car is your responsibility and we require it.  That would cover collision or comprehensive claims involving your vehicle as is normal.
FAQ-3: I want to shine up my car to present it's best appearance in the awards competitions - can I do that?
Yes, we provide a car wash station next to the maintenance building just off the exhibition parking area (there will be a grounds map at the registration desk).
FAQ-4: What if I have mechanical problems, like my car won't start? Can you help?
Yes, the extremely knowledgeable Bill Johnson (MGBBILL to fans) is our onsite troubleshooter, and he has solved quite a variety of problems in the past 5 years.  Of course British Cars are noted for their reliability, right?
FAQ-5: Can anyone explain Cricket?
Bluntly, no.  It is a game played by the folks who invented British automobiles and they love it more than we love hockey.  While impossible to explain it is actually quite fun to watch, and there will be a match between Annapolis and Windsor played on the manicured grounds of KES beginning at 1 PM.  A proper British Tea is served at 3 PM.  Jolly good.
FAQ-5: I've registered, what next?
Arrive at King's-Edgehill, drive through the impressive gates up the treed lane, and turn LEFT to the small parking lot.  Your registration package will be at the Registration desk inside the main building.  Then proceed to the exhibitor's parking area with guidance from MGBBILL's squadron of volunteers.

Safe Driving,
The BMF Committee
